Vancouvia, when this one fails to make quorum, just drop it. Even if it were to make quorum, I think many people here would vote Nay just on the basis of how many times you've submitted it in a row.

I was going to take a one day respite out of respect for the fallen heroes of Vancouvia (tomorrow is Fallen Vancouvian Heroes Day), but we cannot take this sly threat lightly. We will take it heavily.

Exactly how many times has it been now?

Ninth, I believe.

I'm an auto-Nay at this point just on that.

The record is fifteen attempts to get a proposal to quorum, and on the 15th attempt it not only got there but was passed. That was the "historical" resolution on 'Habeas Corpus', by IDU member Enn.

It was before my time, but I don't think so.
Remember that that was before stamps, and before TG-ing scripts, maybeso even before the idea of 'manual' TG campaigns became well known, so slow accumulation of support over multiple submissions might have been the only 'positive' option open...

I agree with the vast majority, the proposal as submitted is not enough for the Commendation. I'd like to see more than just vague ambiguity. The Kingdom of Albion WILL NOT be approving this proposal.

I think this should be withdrawn.

I looked at some comments and this was submitted over nine times? It's like trying to do the same thing that hasn't worked.

I get Ponderosa has done a good job and it has reached many nations in establishing their factbooks but a proposal will need more meat into it. What are some other contributions or in character things he did? And if there's not then you should look into a different subject.
